Re: Steven Gerrard (Liverpool -> LA Galaxy - > Youth Academy)

Its clear Jürgen doesn't want to have this amount of stress into his old age so Stevie has a great opportunity to get Rangers going again hopefully get some CL experience and when Jürgen is ready to put his feet up after winning a treble of EPL titles Stevie will be ready to take over. A nice dream perhaps but why not

Re: Steven Gerrard (Liverpool -> LA Galaxy - > Youth Academy)

I reckon he could break the hold of Celtic in his first season, Gerrads appointment has given the whole club a lift..

Not a chance. He might gain a few points on them from last season - although I doubt it - but nothing more. There is a huge gap between the 2 clubs and to expect any manager to bridge that gap in a season is unrealistic. Celtic carried the ‘invincible’ tag in to last season and when it was broken they lost a bit of momentum but in all honesty, on a domestic front, Celtic barely got out of 3rd gear. You get the feeling that if Rangers were to improve, or any other team for that matter, Celtic would respond and up their game.

He may be the one to bring success back to Rangers but they will need to be patient with him because it’s certainly not going to happen overnight.

Don’t suppose anyone is kept tabs on Rangers since he joined? What’s the style of play looked like (although I’m conscious it’s only been pre season and Europa League qualifiers, so hardly the best barometer).

Ranger played with 10 men for 80 mins so a great away point against a half decent Aberdeen.

Seen all the games, at the moment it's pretty much 4-2-3-1 with a pretty intense pressing style. Lacking a bit of creativity at the moment but defensively they look pretty strong

Re: Steven Gerrard (Liverpool -> LA Galaxy - > Youth Academy)

Was pretty forthright in his post match pressers. Will need to find a way to relax a loiter more if he wants to do this long term. I reckon he has aged three or four years in 2 months since taking the job at Ibrox.

Just needs to be more tactical but it’s never easy letting in a last minute goal. Feels excruciating

Re: Steven Gerrard (Liverpool -> LA Galaxy - > Youth Academy)

Did have to restrain myself from giving some rangers fans slating ejaria a piece of my mind but hopefully the incredibly fickle rangers give him a bit more time. Kent was excellent again

Rangers seem to have quite a bit more purpose about them since Stevie took charge.

As for Ejaria - not seen too much of Rangers but from what I saw of the last 15 minutes or so and I thought Ejaria was a proper presence for them. I then look on twitter and the idiot Rangers supporters (there's a lot of them) are chopping him down. They know f**k all about quality though. This is a bunch of people who thought Kenny Miller was their talisman, even a decade after he showed himself to be an all round sh*t player in the shittest Premier League team of all time (Derby County 2007-2008). They also treat Walter Smith (who, let's remember contributed to them going bankrupt) as some sort of divine like figure despite his awful, backwards football that embarrassed European football when they somehow got to the final of the 2008 Europa League Final (and proceeded to trash Manchester city centre). Absolute basket cases.

Agree with most of that, but just because Miller was bad at county doesn't mean he was bad at Rangers. I never seen Miller play to be fair... unless he played against us.. it is not something I would remember. Look at Ox for Arsenal v Ox for Liverpool, you would think they are different players. As for Rangers, been best in the league this season. They played majority of 2 games with 10 men. Should be top of the league, first red has been reverted to yellow now. Really backing Rangers over Celtic, I have no connection to Celtic, even thought I am 25% Irish other than they have a great song.. YNWA, but Gerrard v Rodgers? Always going to back Gerrard! Rodgers is so average it is unbelievable. Average signings, Average results... he had no problem winning SPL every year because no competition, but couldn't make Celtic look like they used to be in Europe. Rangers will dethrone Celtic. Gerrard and Liverpool's obvious support with loan signings will be key.
